4 Claims. (Cl. 167-22) The present invention relates to insecticides, andmore, particularly to insecticidal compositions containingas a toxic ingredient a dithiophosphate ester of the general formula in which R1 and R2 are members of the group consisting of aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals and halflgen-substituted aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals, R3 represents an aliphatic hydrocarbon radi- The esters utilized in this invention may be prepared by reacting together an aliphatic alcohol or'mercaptan, an aldehyde, and a dialkyl ester or dithiophosphoric acid. A typical reaction in which tertiary butyl mercaptan, formaldehyde,
. and diethyl dithiophosphoric acid are reacted together to' produce S-tert.-butylmercaptomethyl 0,0-diethyl dithiophosphate may be illustrated as follows:
Aldehydes which may be utilized in the preparation of the insecticidal compounds include formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propionic aldehyde. butyric aldehyde, cinnamlc aldehyde, benzaldehyde, and the like. For instance, in the above general formula, when acetaldehyde is employed in the process the symbol Z becomes methyl, and when benzaldehyde is employed Z becomes the phenyl radical.
These compounds are high-boilingliquidssubstantially insoluble in water, butsoluble in many organic liquids including the ketones, namely, acetone, cyclohexanone, isophorone, methyl ethyl ketone, and the like; the monohydric aliphatic alcohols; various esters, namely, the acetates, phthalates, abietates, fumarates, maleates, and the-like; ether alcohols such as the polyethylene glycol's; ketone-alcohols such as diacetone .alcohol; polymethylated naphthalenes; animal and vegetable oils, and petroleum oils.
The term carrier as used hereinafter means a vehicle used to transport the toxic agent. to. the insect to be destroyed. Such carriers maybe solids, liquids, or gases. For instance, solldssuch as various clays, talcs, diatomaceous earths, iullers earths, pyrophyllites, cellulosic sheets, sawdust, and the like, may carry the toxic agent through absorption or adsorption with or without the assistance of a'solvent ornon-solvent carrier. Liquid carriers may be classed as'solventstand non-solvents for the organic dithiophosphates. The non-solvents will, of course, require a minor proportion of an emulsification agent to thoroughly distribute the toxic agent through the carrier. Under such circumstances any wellknown inert emulsification agent may be used in, say, a proportion of from 1% to 10%, such as the polyethylene glycol, sorbitol, mannitol, and pentaerythritol laurates. Such solvent carriers maybe the phthalate, fumarate, maleate, acetate, and naphthenate esters, the monohydric aliphatic alcohols, the polyethylene glycols. ketones, aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and the polymethylated naphthalenes, ketone-alcohols, animal and vegetable oils such as the soybean, cottonseed, linseed, peanut, tallow, and the partial and-completely hydrogenated products, and "petroleum hydrocarbons such as petroleum ether, kerosene, "and the refined spray oils or mixtures thereof. Insomecases a combination of solvent and non solvent carrier-may be used, the solvent and non-solvent Zbeing miscible.
